This car was made to be driven hard and rest assured I drive as it was intended to be.--Raymond Hatcher

Fast Facts'70 AMC AMX
Raymond Hatcher, Las Vegas, Nevada

Mopar Power

Engine: While not exactly a B- or RB-engine, since AMC was adopted by Chrysler, we'll give the little 390 some love. It was given to Jack's Machine Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada, and bored .060-inch over which now makes it 400-inches--maybe it could be a B-block? The crankshaft and connecting rods are stock, steel AMC, while the pistons are Forged Ross pieces. The camstick is an Elgin piece with .520-inch lift, and 234-degrees of duration. It's relatively mild, but it gets the job done. The heads are stock with a good valve job. Up top is an Edelbrock intake with an E-brock 800 cfm carburetor. Finishing it off are a set of Hedman Hedders, and an MSD ignition.

Transmission: This rocket came with a row-your-own, Borg-Warner T-10 box.

Rear: In the AMC world, an 8-7/8 inch axle is the unit of choice, and this is filled with 3.53 gears.
